Police arrested Tyreek McNeil, 21, of the 600 block of Mifflin Street last weekend and charged him with murder, robbery, theft and weapons charges. He is being held without bail awaiting a preliminary hearing on Oct. 16.

Investigators say that McNeil shot and killed Jose Gabino-Aparicio as he walked along the 800 block of Watkins Street in South Philadelphia in the early hours of Sept. 26.

"The reality is that my husband will never walk through that door. Our youngest son will never know his father," said Gabino-Aparicio's wife Dionica Hernandez.
